Objects that produce their own light are said to be luminous. But we might need to look at the source of the light to pin things down further. Is it chemical light like the burning of a candle? Electrical light like a fluorescent lamp? Biological light, like in some fish and insects? Is it nuclear, like the sun and other stars? There are more, and the door has just opened for your inquiry.

What are Objects that produce or emit light called?

Objects that produce or emit light are called luminous objects. These objects generate their own light through a process such as incandescence or bioluminescence. Examples include the sun, light bulbs, and fireflies.


What objects do not emit light?

Objects that do not emit light are known as non-luminous objects. Examples include a chair, a table, a rock, or any object that does not generate its own light but instead reflects light from an external source.

What objects make their own light in space?

Objects that make their own light in space are stars, including our Sun. Stars emit light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions happening in their cores, which makes them shine brightly in the vast darkness of space.


What gives off light and produces it in space?

Stars are the only objects in space that give off their own light.Other objects are visible only if a star shines on them.


What objects in space produce light?

Stars, galaxies, nebulae, and other luminous celestial objects emit light in space. These objects emit different wavelengths and intensities of light based on their composition and physical characteristics.


Why are you unable to see non- luminous objects in a dark box?

Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.


What is a self-luminous object?

A self-luminous object is an object that emits its own light or electromagnetic radiation, such as the sun, stars, or lightbulbs. Unlike reflective objects that only reflect light from other sources, self-luminous objects generate their own illumination.


What are two examples of illuminated and luminous objects?

Luminous objects are things that generate their own light such as The Sun and Fireflies. Illuminated objects are things that reflect light that has come from another source, things like The Moon or anything in your room when you switch on your light.


What objects in space produce their own light?

Objects in space that produce their own light are known as luminous objects. Some examples include stars, such as our Sun, which emit light through the process of nuclear fusion, and hot planets like Jupiter, which reflect and emit light due to their internal heat. Other examples include galaxies, supernovae, and nebulae that emit light due to various astronomical processes.


Why is it black in outer space?

We see things as black when there is no light coming from that direction. Space is mostly empty, and neither generates light or reflects it, so it looks black. We only SEE things that reflect light, or that generate their own light.


What are the non luminous objects in space?

Non-luminous objects in space include planets, asteroids, comets, moons, and dust clouds. These objects do not emit their own light but instead reflect light from nearby stars or other luminous sources. They can be observed through telescopes or spacecraft.
